Here's a reminder of what you already know, that amps and mics are only lenses, the underlying sound is from YOU, so don't assume an amp has a particular inherent strength or weakness unless different players/mics get the same thing through it.  It's worth checking out.

Sure, most amps have general characteristics and share them through each player, but each player sounds different.  From mics to cupping technique to breathing and mouth-shaping (and ears!) amazing differences are often heard through the same rig.

My
BFP (no verb) sounds great and has a solid bottom end. I recently
installed a Weber 125-0 and swaped some tubes out which really fattened
up the tone, especially when using a few outboard effects such as the
BBE maximizer and octostomp. Even by itself it gets a big, walter type
tone when using  the right mic.
